Kenmore h3 Elite Hot/Cold Water problems

You answered a question I posed the other day about my H3 Elite washer where I'm having a problem where the hot water valve sometimes sticks open. I found that when I select Cold/Cold, the machine initially starts out with cold water for a few seconds but always shifts to hot. Then sometimes, the hot valve won't close and I get an overflow error code (F9). When the washer goes into a rinse mode, it seems to use the cold water inlet just fine.

I checked and found that the model number is 110.44832202. I also have read on a consumer affairs page that other people have reported the same problem. I don't mind replacing parts myself, but I'm not sure which part I should focus on first. Any thoughts?

If the drain time exceeds 8 minutes, the water valves are turned off and F02 is flashed.

Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to clear the display.

NOTE: After 4 minutes the “Sud” error will be displayed, then 4 minutes later the F02 error code will be displayed.

Potential Causes

• Check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged or kinked• Check the electrical connections at the pump and make sure the pump is running.• Check the drain pump filter for foreign objects(located, and mounted on the actual pump)• If the above does not correct the problem replace the pump

this sounds impossible,hold old is the washer? how long are the hoses to the washer?is it the temp pressure valve on the heater that bursts? can you hear the water draining out the drain pipe, this machine don't go into spin till the water has been drained.

I have an H3 washing machine and the rubber bellow lip that seals the front door from leaking has torn causing water to leak out. Can this bellow be repaired or easily removed and replaced without calling a service repairman.

F/DL means the door lock. If you take the bottom panel off (there are 3 screws), you can reach up and pull down on a lever to release the lock. Next you need to take off the top of the washer (there are 3 screw on the back). ONce you have the panel removed, you can see the wires and where they plug in at the back right area. If you just jiggle them, you can get it to work again. I am doing this right now until I can get a new computer. My neighbor has a front loading washer of a different brand and experienced the same problem I am having now. She is the one who told me how to fix it.
